      I am asking you to help me with a pretty big thing, atleast i think it is because i can't figure it out.

      My setup:
      2 Zyxel NWA3160-N
      ESXi with pfsense + 2 physical nics
      1 Juniper Networks router (not accessible)

      My goal: 2 networks using VLAN where i have a main network and a guest network with the difference that the guest network will have a speed cap via pfsense

      What i'm thinking is possible (But i ain't sure so please don't hang me up on this):
      2 SSID's on my AP's with different VLAN id's (lets say id 10 for main and id 20 for guest), and then configure pfsense with dhcp server for both vlans and a speed cap on vlan id 20 - Is that possible? :P

      So does anyone want to help me with this? I understand if you won't :)

        looks easy enough.

        just setup a VM with both nics in place. (use a 1 for WAN, the other for the vlan trunk to managed switch)
        be sure to setup your virtual networking correctly, to allow the use of ALL vlans (4095=allow ALL vlans in esxi)

        install the pfsense with the wan / lan / vlans / …
        add all the firewall rules etc etc, put a limiter on the guest vlan

        If you want more info, just ask
        If you want someone to do this for you  ---> check out the "bounty" section of the forum or get a commercial support contract by ESF
